: "Cognizing" (i.e., thinking, understanding, knowing, and having the capacity to do what cognizers can do) is a mental state. Systems without mental states, such as cogn...
—Consider the following Simultaneous Message Passing (SMP) model for computing a relation f ⊆ X ×Y ×Z. In this model Alice, on input x ∈ X and Bob, on input y ∈ Y, send o...
We give a short and simple proof of Hales and Hallgren's Fourier Sampling Theorem ["Quantum Fourier Sampling Simplified", Proceedings of the Thirty-First Annual ACM...
We discuss several complexity measures for Boolean functions: certi cate complexity, sensitivity, block sensitivity, and the degree of a representing or approximating polynomial. ...
The algebraic theory of quasi-MV algebras, generalisations of MV algebras arising in quantum computation, is by now rather well-developed. Although it is possible to define sever...
